Christopher Wood – James Bond and the Moonraker – First UK Edition 1979
£975.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘James Bond and Moonraker’. A very good book – a little spotting to the edges – some rubbing to the bottom edge of the boards. No inscriptions. In a near fine unclipped wrapper. A book which is always found in ex-library condition – this is a beauty, mirroring the exquisite artwork by Bill Botten.
The adaptation of Moonraker expanded on the screenplay, providing more depth and aligning with Ian Fleming’s tone. Wood blended Fleming’s realism with cinematic spectacle, preserving Bond’s essence while accommodating sci-fi elements. His contributions remain significant for bridging the literary Bond with the blockbuster film era.
